Charles Spencer Chaplin was born on April 16th 1889 in London. His mother, Hannah Hill, and father, Charles Chaplin senior, were both entertainers. Hannah was a singer and Charles Sr. did a bit of everything, singing, dancing, etc. His father was also a heavy drinker. The start

Charlie started school at the age of eight. He didn’t enjoy school, for the most he didn’t like it at all. Charlie was a slightly odd and shy boy at his school. He didn’t have any friends. He was a loner.

Charlie made a total of 82 films in his career. I believe that he was brilliant and he was the best that there was, and he still is the best now too. He put so much feeling into his films and he made them come to life. His stories were very entertaining and funny. Out of the films I’ve seen, my favorite one was City Lights.

Charlie and Sydney were sent to live with their father. While Charlie was on the second tour of, “Romance of a Cockney,” Hannah was released from the insane asylum. She soon suffered another relapse and returned to the institution.

In 1917, when he was 28, Charlie started to see a 15-year old actress named Mildred Harris. Again, she was everything that he adored. After a few months they were married. Charlie was not sure that marriage would be good for them. He was right, and in 1920 they were divorced. Charlie later wrote in his biography, “The real tragedy in his marriage is not that it failed, the real tragedy was that it ended the romantic relationship with Edna.” Edna and Charlie always thought that someday they would get married. When he married Mildred that possibility disappeared forever.
